Hi all, You can expect to pay around $852 for rent here. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Is this normal for Blackwell? Thanks! The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem underrated.
I've been here 9 years and there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The thing nobody mentions is weather. It's established and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the safety is legit. And if you're into golfing, this place is better than expected.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Lakewood side vs the North side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Definitely worth checking out..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 6 years ago from New York and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: The market is competitive but not impossible. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Pine Hills. It's tough for what you get.
Jobs: The market is developing right now, especially in construction. If you're in construction you might struggle.
People: Generally hit or miss. It took about 16 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: hit or miss. Tons of options if you like Mexican.
All Countries
